Although a little bit later than expected, the real-time strategy classic, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, is now available on the iPhone. RA lets you play as either Allies or Soviets across 12 levels of resource gathering, unit building, and, of course, military conquest. Gamers out there will be familiar with name, although understandably wary about gameplay on a smaller screen. By the looks of the screenshots, Red Alert looks wholly playable and potentially a lot of fun if EA took their time and made sure everything was properly redesigned for mobile. Downloadable expansions will broaden gameplay by adding multiplayer capabilities and another unique faction down the line… Looking forward to it! In the meantime, you can nab Red Alert in the App Store for $9.99.
